Synopsis/Description:
And that's what you get for trying to skimp out on Mistress Nacha!
At least she'll get some discipline practice as Nacha's new table!
And Nacha gets a new table!

The Rant:
This was both a lot of fun and surprising difficult, because it involved a lot of pieces I didn't expect to have to figure out. The initial hard part was setting it up. I knew the head would have to be separate from the body to accommodate the table, but I hadn't really thought too much about the actual animation. Sure, I could just have Abby's still form wiggle back and forth, but I don't think that communicated as well as having dedicated wiggle frames. The main problem was even that wasn't too well thought through; it actually took standing up and acting out Abby's little prance to get the proper feel for what I wanted the animation to look like.
From there, it was a simple matter of cleaning up the assets to look nice. Though, that took longer than it should; due to the using illustration lighting for animation. Normally not a problem with Abbymations, since those are primarily just puppet assets and once you clean one, you've cleaned the entire animation, but there were four separate sets of body assets that needed cleaning and that took longer than expected (moreso, given the Halloween Holiday)
That being said, I need to find another alternative to Tuesday/Thursday animations. I definitely don't regret doing this, but its eating too much time that needs to be allocated to other ideas. Maybe make these the new Wednesday thing, rather than WiP Wednesday
Either way, Mistress Nacha was a fun guest of the Saunter-verse, and I hope to submit Abby to her care in the future!
